Engagement with the community over the plans for the site begins, with pop-up events at the O2 Centre focused on redeveloping just the car park.

The O2 Centre is brought into the site plans to create a comprehensive Masterplan. 

First digital consultation to establish local priorities and how the impacts of Covid-19 may have changed these. Download our consultation summary here.

More details of the updated Masterplan are published. There is further community engagement, including webinars for local community groups, a presentation to Camden’s Development Management Forum and further digital and in-person consultations.

The Masterplan is further amended following community feedback and is submitted to Camden Council. Almost 3,000 people have engaged with the Masterplan by this point, following four phases of consultation across exhibitions, workshops, meetings and presentations.

There are further pop-ups in the O2 Centre to discuss the planning application with the public.

Camden Council’s Planning Committee votes in favour of approving the O2 Centre Masterplan in March. The ‘Section 106’ legal agreement with Camden is reached in December, meaning the Masterplan is officially ‘consented’.

Work begins to unlock the site for development. Temporary planning applications for initial works are submitted, including for an electricity substation.  

The demolition of Homebase begins, to clear the way for the buildings in Phase One. 

New forums for community engagement are launched, with Quarterly Community Meetings and a Construction Working Group. Click here for more information on these meetings.

A new Commonplace is launched to share more information about the Masterplan and works on site. Click here to sign up for updates.

Changes are proposed to Phase One in late 2024 to comply with updated fire safety standards and deliver more public benefits, including more affordable homes and more green space. There were 7 dedicated workshops, 6 drop-in events and 3 public workshops about the changes, attended by more than 200 people. Click here to see the boards from the consultation exhibition.

The Homebase demolition is completed in early 2025.

Following the community consultation, the proposed changes to Phase One were submitted to Camden Council in February for their consideration and consultation. 

Works to reconfigure the car park are due to begin in 2025, taking the total number of parking spaces to 200 and adding improved pedestrian walkways and greenery.

Phase One will then be ready for construction to begin.
